Securitize Corp. (NYSE: $SECZ) and Cantor Fitzgerald are taking tokenization into the primary equity market, creating a pathway for public companies to conduct initial public offerings and follow-on offerings onchain.
The agreement combines Cantor's equity capital markets and trading capabilities with Securitize's regulated infrastructure for issuing, distributing and servicing tokenized securities. Securitize Markets, the company's SEC-registered broker-dealer affiliate, will participate in the offering and settlement process.
Public companies using the structure would still operate inside the established framework for traditional offerings. Blockchain infrastructure would sit underneath the issuance process, supporting digital ownership records, greater transparency and access to investors already active across onchain markets.

The partnership pushes tokenization beyond the secondary trading of funds, Treasuries and private assets. It brings the technology closer to capital formation itself, where shares are first distributed to investors and later issued again through follow-on offerings.
Securitize co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo said companies should not have to choose between traditional capital markets and blockchain-based infrastructure. He described the agreement as another step toward making digital securities a standard part of how markets operate.
Cantor co-CEO and global head of equities Pascal Bandelier said the firm ranked first in U.S. IPOs in 2025 and is now bringing that experience onchain. Cantor will focus on the underwriting and market-facing side of the process, while Securitize supplies the digital securities stack behind issuance and settlement.
Securitize oversees more than $5 billion in tokenized assets and works with asset managers including BlackRock (NYSE: $BLK), Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane and VanEck. Its U.S. operations include broker-dealer, transfer-agent, trading and fund-administration infrastructure, alongside regulated digital-securities capabilities in Europe.
The agreement puts that infrastructure behind new public equity rather than assets that have already been issued. If adopted by issuers, onchain settlement could begin at the point shares enter the market.
Securitize Corp. (NYSE: SECZ) is currently trading at $8.50 U.S. per share.
